Beautiful hardwood stairways

With years of future enjoyment and practicality at stake, your bespoke traditional staircase should combine carefully considered design, precise manufacture and efficient installation.

From stylish balusters to elegant banister detailing, the result is much more than just a traditional timber staircase featuring your preferences for traditional spindles and turnings in oak or walnut. We’ll craft a beautiful, elegant and affordable stairway to the highest standards that enhance your property and your lifestyle

Experience shows that the quality of your traditional hardwood staircase will be a focal and talking point for years. Our beautiful staircase designs are remembered long after the very reasonable prices are forgotten.

Discerning clients love how we manufacture and install their stairway to any predetermined design and specification. We can also design, manufacture and install a bespoke stairway joinery solution just for you.

The art and craft of manufacturing traditional staircases

Whether you’ve always wanted an elegant ‘Victorian staircase’ or other traditional designs, the real ‘magic’ starts when you commission us to craft your house stairs. That’s when we carefully select the finest quality hardwood from a range of temperate and tropical species including these:
• European oak
• European steamed beech
• American ash
• American cherry
• American hard maple
• African sapele and utile.

As your staircase takes shape, carefully selected planks are transformed into its components: sawn, crosscut, precision machined, mortised and tenon jointed, chamfered and turned. From understated designs to grand staircases, it’s all done under the tightest quality control.
Imagine the little details that will define your staircase for years to come. With craftsmen and in-house lathes, we’ll produce the most intricate individual turnings including these:
• Spindles (including barley-twist spindles)
• Newel posts (including chamfered newels)
• Turned pilasters
• Spirals
• Finials
We make them all with the same techniques that have created traditional staircase details for centuries. If you can describe it or show us a picture, there’s nothing we can’t do in the way of details such as cut and closed strings, kite and straight treads, handrails, base-rails, volutes, under easing, flat turns, goose necks, glass balustrades, stainless steel posts, caps, drop caps and more…

Bespoke manufactured stairways

Whether you want the simplest straight flight, or an elaborate sweeping staircase to a galleried landing, our craftspeople know how to meet and exceed your expectations.

Whether we’re manufacturing a new staircase or one of our skilfully crafted staircase renovations, every Parkwood staircase is fabricated in our modern joinery factory, using components manufactured and finished in house.

Whether you prefer oak, ash, maple or mahogany, we’ll factory finish it to your chosen stain colour, sheen level and particular choice of hand tinting. It’s the final finishing touch to a complete package that includes efficient installation in your property. By the way, all our traditional staircases are installed by us – never by a third party.
